If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 16 Qi and Luck

When Guan Huchen walked over, he saw the Taoist boy Qingsong dragging a wooden stake in his right hand, which was as thick as a bowl and a meter long.

The wooden stake must have been just cut from the forest and carved with a knife, and the knife marks on it were very fresh.

The surface of the wooden stakes is covered with colorful runes.

The runes did not shine, but facing the wooden stake, Guan Huchen seemed to see an unparalleled weapon that could massacre millions of people.

Even though it was obviously newly manufactured and had never been used, there was already a black and red murderous aura lingering around it.

This thing is very evil!
Hu Chen was dignified, his attitude became more respectful, and he began to be alert in his heart, "Master, what do you want?"

Qingsong Dao Tong threw away the long wooden stake with a clang and said with a smile: "Shamanyu established a system for Shaman and also nurtured a dragon vein under the sand dunes.

Kill the Shaman who knew how to smelt iron, boil salt and farm, then seal the shrine, take Shaman Yu away, and the system will basically become a false one.

But the dragon vein is a fact, do you understand, General?"

Guan Huchen's eyes flickered, and he understood about 70% of it in his heart, and nodded and said: "The dragon vein is the root, and as long as the root is there, we can gather our luck again.

I am afraid that even if we kill all the barbarians in the dunes, we cannot cut off the inheritance of iron smelting and salt boiling technology.

After decades, the severely damaged dragon veins will gradually recover and give birth to new latent dragons.

By then, the Xisha barbarians will definitely establish a new 'Sand Dune Kingdom', posing a threat to our Great Shu."

Taoist Qingsong looked at him without saying anything.

Guan Huchen lowered his eyes and continued dryly: "For the sake of Dashu, the dragon vein of the dune must be cut off."

Qingsong Taoist still had a blank expression and did not speak.

Guan Huchen was sweating profusely, his heart was in a mess, but he still took the blame tactfully and said, "I beg the Taoist to give me some advice. I will be loyal to the Great Shu!"

A look of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of Qingsong Dao Tong, but he turned around and sighed with his back to him: "General, you are forcing me to do something difficult. I don't understand any law."

Guan Huchen glanced at the wooden stake on the ground, walked over reluctantly to pick it up, and then looked in the direction of Qingsong Taoist's gaze, and he had a vague understanding in his heart.

Taoist Qingsong caught a glimpse of his reaction out of the corner of his eye, and the look of satisfaction on his baby face became even stronger: This old Guan is not so dull after all.

Guan Huchen was troubled for a moment, then he put the wooden stake aside, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly to Qingsong Taoist Boy.

Qingsong Daotong frowned and avoided him, his tone somewhat cold, "What is General Guan doing?"

——If you dare to refuse, I will chop you to pieces immediately and make it difficult for you to become a ghost!

Hu Chen said in a muffled voice: "I have no other intentions, it's just that this place is beautiful and I feel very happy looking at it, so I want to ask the Taoist for some advice on Feng Shui and destiny."

Qingsong Dao Tong smiled strangely and said, "Well, the sand dunes are indeed beautiful, and I am quite touched. I will talk to the general about it."

——So that you will completely give up the desire to struggle.

"'Qiyun' consists of two words, Qi and Yun. Most people who observe Qi look at the current 'Qi' rather than the future 'Yun'.

The way of luck is very simple. Those with strong strength have strong luck, and those with weak strength also have weak luck. Luck and fate are unpredictable.

Man is born from the Qi of Heaven and Earth and is formed by the laws of the four seasons.

It is also said that 'the birth of man is the gathering of Qi'.

What is Qi? Everything is Qi!

Tao is born from nothingness and one Qi changes into Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang combine to give birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.

It can also be simply summarized as; Pangu created the world, the clear air floated up to become the sky, and the turbid air sank to become the earth.

Everything in the world is Qi.

The innate is Qi, and the acquired is Qi.

Since the essence of all things is Qi, wealth such as gold, silver, and jewelry are naturally Qi, and power and wealth are also Qi.

Man is a collection of qi.

If you are rich, the energy of money will be added to your energy, and you can see red when you look at your energy; if you are born into a noble family, the energy of power and status will enter your energy, and you can see green or purple when you look at your energy.

The emperor is rich in the world, and the territory and the people's vigor are added to it. It is lush and green, vast like a canopy, and bright like the sun. Even the immortals dare not confront it.

In short, what you have, the energy of the things you own constitutes a part of your own energy, and you can see different colors and scenes.

Even if you can become the king in the future, you are now just a nobody, with nothing, and you are still in a gray and bleak state. "

Hu Chen frowned and said, "What the Taoist said made me suddenly enlightened. However, the last sentence seems to be different from what I have heard."

Qingsong Dao Tong laughed and said, "Did you hear that when emperors and generals were swimming in shallow water, fortune tellers saw that their 'energy turned into dragons and tigers, with five colors' or 'red light filled the sky, vast and mighty' or something like that?"

Hu Chen nodded vigorously.

Qingsong Dao Tong shook his head and said, "If that were true, how could emperors rise from obscurity and generals and ministers be born in poverty? With such obvious characteristics, they would have been picked out by fortune tellers and killed or their luck would have been drained away.

Even a future emperor, before he becomes successful, has only the strength of one man and will die with one blow from a single sword.

When a person dies, everything is gone.”

"Are all predictions about the future based on qigong false?" Hu Chen asked.

“Of course there are powerful people who can spy on and even rewrite fate and destiny, but you’d better hope that anyone you meet in this life who dares to talk about the future is a charlatan.

You have met a 'real person', and he even specially met with you to predict your future. Hehehe, apart from your miserable life, what else do you think is worth the attention of such a great being? "Qingsong Dao Tong sneered.

Hu Chen pondered over these words carefully, then shuddered and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"What is the relationship between luck, dragon veins, and dragon energy?" he asked again.

Qingsong Dao Tong said: "Your Qi is the external manifestation of your own strength, power, and wealth. The stronger you are, the more Qi you have.

Dragon Qi is directly a kind of Qi, one of the 'Qi of all things' differentiated from the innate Qi.

To put it more directly, dragon energy is earth energy.

People absorb the pure air from the sky and practice to become immortals.

The "turbid air" underground is nourished by the human energy on the ground, and blends with the energy of humanity, transforming into another kind of energy that is closely related to the heaven and earth and the human race, that is, the "dragon energy".

The dragon energy gathers together, taking the shape of mountains and rivers, and giving birth to a collective consciousness, which is the dragon vein. "

At this point, Dao Tonghua turned his head and said meaningfully: "To extinguish one kind of qi, you need another kind of qi.

Just like pouring water to put out a fire, the quantities must be equal and offset each other.

Just as a cup of water cannot extinguish a fire in a chariot, a heavy rain cannot cause a fire disaster. This is the truth. "

After saying this, the little Taoist boy closed his mouth, turned around, and just looked at the scenery, as if the sand dunes were really a scenic spot.

Hu Chen's hands and feet were cold, and he cursed his mother a thousand times in his heart.

He not only scolded Qingsong the Taoist Boy, but also the Prince of Qinghe, the King of Shu, the Marquis of Lieyang, and even the Emperor of Qin. He also scolded all those who "forced" him to come to Shaqiu to "confront" the dragon energy.

"I have 300 cavalrymen here this time. Excluding those who died in the battle yesterday and those killed by the fish monster at night, there are still 236 people. They are all elite soldiers of the Great Shu, including many sons of prominent families and royal relatives."

Qingsong Dao Tong asked: "Do they have the eyes of immortals?"

Hu Chen was silent.

Qingsong Dao Tong asked again: "Do they know about the general's martial arts realm? About the general's position and identity?
Like General Guan, who was blessed with great fortune, and who encountered a red smoke colt that had awakened part of its ancient bloodline while hunting in the forest at the age of twelve? "

Hu Chen gritted his teeth and wanted to yell at Qingsong Daotonghu: My luck and fortune deserve to be ruined in this shabby place? No, I want to become an immortal, go to the heavenly palace to be an immortal, participate in the Peach Banquet, live forever and enjoy immortality forever!
"Master, you said that the existing power and authority manifests itself in the form of qi. But the qi that manifests from power and authority is not the real qi like immortal qi or dragon qi.

"The Red Smoke Horse is still here, my identity will not change, my martial arts realm will not disappear, and my Qi will still be there, right?" he said.

Qingsong Dao Tong said: "I emphasized at the beginning that luck is composed of two words.

What physiognomy observes is only the qi.

Although luck and fate are also hidden in the qi, they cannot be seen at all without the power to control destiny.

'Qi' is the manifestation of existing wealth, power and authority.

'Luck' refers to your own energy, luck, and destiny.

You stand by the river and see the surging water. Even if you haven't been upstream, you know that there is plenty of water upstream.

If you see the river water stagnant and the riverbed invisible, even if you don't go upstream, you can conclude that there is a lack of water and rain upstream.

If a fortune teller stands in front of you and sees that your Qi is full, brilliant, and bright, even if he is just a third-rate sorcerer, he can still conclude that you have good luck and a good destiny.

If a fortune teller sees that you are weak and your complexion is faded, and says that you have bad luck and misfortune, he is probably right.

This is a reasonable inference.

It is not like fortune tellers and powerful people who can directly see through the "fate" hidden above the "qi".

This is also the reason why street fortune tellers can make a living. If they lack Taoism, they can make up for it with reasoning. "

Hu Chen vaguely grasped something and thought hard for a moment. Suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to appear in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

"Master, I will recommend someone to you who will definitely be able to complete the task."

Qingsong Daotong frowned and said, "You don't mean to say 'Guan Yu'?"

"Guan Yu?" Hu Chen was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was the adopted daughter he had just adopted.

"How is she?" He hadn't really thought about her just now.

"Well, is there any problem if I adopt her as my adopted daughter?" he asked again.

The Taoist boy Qingsong said: "This kind of hero is born with wisdom and hasn't committed any serious mistakes that would anger the gods and people. Killing him would be disastrous.

It would be a great thing if you can use it for your own benefit.

Good for you, better for Dashu. If you are doing well for Dashu, Daqin will be relieved.

In fact, Xiaodao lets you deal with her by yourself, which is a compensation and reward for you.

If she was born in China, it would not be your turn to adopt her as your adopted daughter.

The Taoist priest directly recommended her to the Taoist palace or nobles with whom he had a good relationship.

But don't count on borrowing her luck.

Not to mention that she was in a very dangerous situation at the moment and her fate was not controlled by anyone, so she couldn't squeeze out any luck at all.

The dragon vein was nurtured by her, and the qi of the two interact and nourish each other, so there is no way that water and fire can conflict with each other."

Hu Chen said: "The person I recommended is not her, but my deputy general Song Changqing."

"It turned out to be him." Qingsong Taoist suddenly realized, then hesitated.

"It never hurts to give it a try," Hu Chen said.

Qingsong Dao Tong sneered and said, "It won't do you any harm, but if you make a mistake and scare the dragon vein away, I don't know how much effort I will have to spend to re-survey the dragon's lair."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Forget it. Call Deputy General Song over and let me take a closer look."
